Philosophy

Hence you should be able to give examples of four different beliefs, or four different categories of belief. Do so (below). To help you, here is an example of a single belief: "I have been teaching at Drexel for 8 years." That belief might be Rational/True or Rational/False or Irrational/True or Irrational/False. It doesn't matter here, because I'm only giving you an example of a belief. Your task is to provide four beliefs (make them up to suit our purposes), one for each of the categories listed. ALSO explain why each of your beliefs has the characteristics you say it has. That is, explain why your Rational/True belief is R and explain why it is T [thus two explanations are required for each belief]. And so forth for the other three categories.
